Love the messy process that's unfolding before you...

Trust in your inner callings even when they lead you into uncharted waters.

The first step at learning anything, is sucking at it in the beginning. πŸ˜‚ ...For real though!

When learning any new skill we have to face any perfectionist beliefs we may be clinging onto.

Making peace with the inner critic is one of the first steps in creative recovery. πŸ™πŸΌπŸŒ€βœ¨

A shadow artist is...a creative soul who is "caught between the dream of action and the fear of failure..." depicted by the scintillating Julia Cameron.

Shadow Artists are beings who did not receive the appropriate early encouragement in childhood to pursue their creative urges.

Shadow Artists tend to surround themselves with artistic individuals so that they may feel close with the creative arts without having to fully step into their unique self-expression.

They experience deep inner yearnings to create, but feel stifled in moving forward with a creative outlet.

Fear of failure runs through their veins like blood.
Unable to recognize their own creative brilliance, they often seek to find that in another.

Often they will choose careers that are adjacent to an artist, without having to authentically create themselves.

Our creative space is a sacred space where we meet ourselves in honesty. Where we get to turn our insides out and bear witness to the journey of being human.

May we all have the courage to answer the call of our own creative desires. (Which come in infinite forms.) May we all trust in our own authentic, unique expression.

My daily prayer. πŸ™πŸŒ€βœ¨

"People who are unable to use their hands skillfully for all kinds of work, will not become good thinkers and will behave awkwardly in life. It is not the head alone, but the whole human being that is a logician. Activities demanding manual and bodily skill, such as knitting, leads to the enhancement of the faculty of judgment. This faculty is actually developed least of all by exercises in logic." - Rudolf Steiner

Embodiment during the Creative Process. Being in the body and using the body as an instrument of divine creation. Learning to use my hands more on the daily. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ”₯🀲

... Authenticity.

I remember fantasizing about being "cool" as a kid. Back then "cool" meant being perceived as interesting and worthy of attention by my peers.

Now, "cool" means...

being unapologetically myself

living in integrity with my values

authentically expressing myself

being grounded and embodied

living in congruence with my soul

respecting others boundaries

meeting myself in honesty

being of service to humanity

creating raw, real, human art

What does "cool" mean to you...then and now?

Hi, I'm Jenna πŸ‘‹

One of the two artists behind VanOcean Art. I wanted to pop on and briefly introduce myself.

I'm super passionate about creative self-expression. I have had a very tender journey with my own ability to create.

I guess you could call me a "late bloomer." I always dreamt of being creative as a child, but held the belief that "I just wasn't creative," throughout most of my childhood and teenage years.

It wasn't until I was in my early 20's that I finally began to lean into my own creative callings. What I've learned, is that creative self-expression is my most nourishing form of self-care.

If I'm not creating, I'm usually self-destructing in some way, shape or form. I see so clearly how creative & destructive energy are two sides of the same coin.

My intention with this page is to foster a conversation around creativity and all the hurdles that keep us from being the true co-creators that we are.

As well as share our own creative offerings with you. There's lots more to come and I can't wait to connect with more of you. Hoping you make space for your own sacred creation time today.πŸŒ€πŸ’œβœ¨
